UNIVERSITY  HALE 

This  is  the  oldest  building  for  scholastic  purposes  occupied  by  the  University.  It  was 
built  in  1873,  and  has  been  extended  since.  Its  present  value  is  1138,000.  In  this  building, 
the  administration  offices  and  auditorium  are  located.  Engineering  students  go  to  this 
building  for  their  mathematics,  language  and  cultural  subjects. 


BROWN  HAIvR 

This  building  was  built  in  1902  at  a cost  of  $75,000.  It  accommodates  the  Departments  of 
Civil  Engineering,  Architecture,  and  Engineering  Drawing.  The  laboratory  of  the  State 
Highway  Commission  is  also  located  here. 


HIGHWAY  LABORATORY 

In  this  laboratory,  samples  of  road  materials  from  all  parts  of  Ohio  are  studied  and  tested* 
In  an  adjoining  shed,  rattlers  for  brick  testing  are  also  installed.  This  work  is  done  in 
co-operation  with  the  State  Highway  Commission. 


Camp  at  the  Lewiston  Reservoir  for  Summer  work  i: 
Civil  Engineering. 


work  done  is  an  actual  survey,  the  results  of  which  are 
to  be  used  in  some  public  or  private  enterprise.  The

DESIGN  OK  A PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

The  above  drawing  illustrates  the  quality  and  kind  of  work  done  by  and  required  of 
students  in  the  course  in  Architecture.  Each  student’s  work  is  necessarily  individual,  and 
each  has  different  problems,  so  that  in  every  case  the  training  from  the  very  beginning  is 
toward  self-expression. 


CLASS  IN  PHOTOGRAPHY 

This  work  is  given  in  connection  with  the  course  in  Architecture.  The  Laboratory  is 
without  doubt  the  best  equipped  and  most  extensive  in  the  country  for  the  teaching  of  this 
subject.  The  physics  and  chemistry  of  photography  constitute  the  foundation  of  the  course 
and  the  practical  drill  in  correct  exposure  and  development,  copying,  lan  tern  slide  work, 
and  many  other  branches  are  thoroughly  given. 


ROBINSON  LABORATORY 

This  building  contains  the  laboratories  of  the  Departments  of  Mechanical  and  Electrical 
Engineering.  The  recitation  rooms,  drawing  rooms,  library  and  offices  of  these  depart- 
ments are  temporarily  accommodated  there  also,  but  the  completed  plan  provides  a new 
building  parallel  and  closely  adjoining  the  present  structure,  connected  to  it  b}^  covered 
passage  ways  or  bridges.  The  present  structure  was  built  iu  1907  and  cost  $ 75,000. 


VIEW  IN  STEAM  ENGINE  LABORATORY 

A part  of  the  equipment  in  Steam  Engineering  is  shown.  Beside  the  two  large  units, 
there  are  io  or  12  other  steam  engines  equipped  fortesting  purposes.  These  include  simple 
and  compound  slide  valve  types,  Corliss  type,  turbine  type,  etc.  A portion  of  the  hydrau- 
lic bay  is  seen  in  the  distance.  It  is  excellently  equipped  with  pumps,  water  motors, 
weirs,  etc. 


VIEW  IN  STEAM  BOILER  LABORATORY 

The  equipment  shown  here  is  for  testing  and  experimental  purposes  only,  and  is  separate 
entirely  from  the  Boiler  House  which  furnishes  power  and  heat  for  the  University.  Com- 
plete heat  balances  are  made  on  boilers  of  five  different  types,  and  the  facilities  for  ex- 
perimental research  in  this  field  are  among  the  best  in  the  country. 


GAS  ENGINE  LABORATORY 

This  equipment  includes  a new  75  H.  P.  Smith  suction  gas  producer  (located  just  beyond 
the  partition)  a two  cylinder,  tandem,  four-cycle,  horizontal  gas  engine  of  80  H.  P.,  ar- 
ranged to  use  either  producer  gas  or  natural  gas,  a two-cycle  gas  engine  of  25  H.  P., 
and  some  6 other  engines  of  from  2 to  20  H.  P.  Automobile  and  marine  engines  are  also 
available  for  test. 


AN  ELECTRICAL,  ENGINEERING  LABORATORY 

This  department  is  especially  well  equipped.  The  above  illustration  shows  part  of  the 
apparatus  of  the  alternating  current  laboratory.  For  this  and  the  direct  current  labora- 
tory, there  is  an  equipment  of  seventy-five  generators  and  motors  aggregating  800  H.  P. 
capacity.  There  are  fifteen  other  rooms  containing  apparatus  illustrative  of  every  phase 
of  electrical  work. 


LORD  HALL 

This  building  was  erected  in  1905  for  the  use  of  the  Departments  of  Mineralogy  and 
Metallurgy,  Mine  Engineering  and  Ceramic  Engineering.  Collectively  these  departments 
constitute  the  School  of  Mines  and  discuss  the  entire  field  of  the  mineral  industry.  The 
department  of  Mechanics  is  temporarily  accomodated  in  this  building  also.  The  cost  of  the 
building  was  $ 85,000. 


MINK  RESCUK  APPARATUS 

Students  are  required  to  learn  to  wear  and  perform  bodily  labor,  while  wearing  the  oxygen 
helmets.  They  are  shut  into  rooms  filled  with  sulphuric  acid  gas,  in  which  suffocation 
would  at  once  ensue  without  the  protection  of  the  helmet.  Testing  firedamp  and  explo- 
sive gases  and  the  use  of  the  safety  lamp  is  also  a part  of  the  work  given. 


COAL  WASHING  PLANT 

This  equipment  is  used  in  the  course  in  Ore  Dressing,  given  by  the  Department  of 
Mineralogy  and  Metallurgy.  The  study  of  low  grade  and  impure  fuels  and  of  means  to 
render  them  capable  of  utilization  for  purposes  not  now  open  to  them  is  of  the  highest 
importance  to  a proper  conservation  of  our  mineral  resources. 


POTTERY  MACHINE  ROOM 

This  room  is  used  by  the  students  in  Ceramic  Engineering  for  grinding  and  sifting  glazes, 
filter  pressing  bodies,  jiggering  and  throwing  pottery  and  similar  mechanical  work.  A 
similar  laboratory  for  brick  and  tile  manufacture  and  experimental  work  along  these  lines 
is  also  available. 


KILN  ROOM 

The  students  in  Ceramic  Engineering  are  required  to  do  all  or  most  of  tlie  burning  of  their 
own  work,  whether  it  be  experimental  series  of  clay  mixtures,  bodies,  glazes  or  colors,  or 
finished  pieces  of  ware  in  which  the  foregoing  experiments  are  applied.  This  work  is 
carried  on  in  the  four  kilns  shown  above  and  in  a number  of  smaller  ones  not  shown  in  this 


view. 


CHEMISTRY  HARE 

The  greater  part  of  this  building  is  occupied  by  the  Department  of  Chemistry.  There  are 
two  large  laboratories  in  the  basement  and  lecture  rooms  and  laboratories  on  each  of  the 
floors  above.  All  are  well  equipped  with  the  necessary  apparatus  for  pursuing  not  only 
elementary  but  advanced  work  in  all  fields  of  chemical  research.  The  building  was  erected 
in  1907  at  a cost  of  $100,000.00. 


A CORNER  OF  THE  CHEMICAL  ENGINEERING  LABORATORY 

There  is  a growing  demand  for  trained  men  in  those  industries  which  employ  chemical 
processes  in  their  work,  such  as  the  manufacture  of  acids,  alkalies,  paints,  soaps,  fertilizers, 
etc.  To  manage  these  industries  so  as  to  meet  competition  successfully,  the  services  of  a 
chemist  are  indispensable. 


PHYSICS  HAPL 

This  building  is  exclusively  used  to  house  the  department  of  Physics.  It  constitutes  the 
central  part  only  of  the  building  provided  for  in  the  plans.  The  cost  of  this  structure  was 
$80, ooo.oo.  It  is  well  equipped  with  modern  apparatus. 


LABORATORY  FOR  ELECTRICAL  MEASUREMENTS 

This  view  illustrates  the  equipment  provided  for  those  who  pursue  electricity  as  a major 
study  in  their  course.  It  is  used  principally  by  the  Juniors  in  the  electrical  engineering 
course. 


HAYES  HARR 

This  building,  constructed  in  1892,  at  a cost  of  $55,000.00,  was  designed  by  President 
Rutherford  B.  Hayes  who  at  that  time  was  one  of  the  chief  advocates  of  the  development  of 
Manual  Training.  It  houses  the  shops  for  forging,  foundry,  machine  work,  bench  work 
in  metal  and  wood  work,  and  equipment  for  various  other  forms  of  manual  work  for  men 
and  women. 


MACHINE  SHOP 

Besides  the  benches  and  tools  for  vise  work,  the  machine  shop  is  well  equipped  with  lathes 
of  various  types,  including  a monitor  turret  lathe,  planers,  shapers,  milling  and  grinding 
machines,  and  arbor  presses.  The  equipment  of  small  tools  includes  a large  number  of 
special  designs. 


GYMNASIUM  AND  ARMORY 

This  building,  constructed  in  1894  at  a cost  of  $1 15,000.00,  and  since  extensively  rearranged 
inside  with  marked  increase  in  efficiency,  is  constantly  used  to  its  full  capacity.  Military  Drill 
occurs  three  times  weekly  at  11  A.  M.  and  at  4 P.  M.  At  other  hours,  the  building  is  given 
over  to  the  required  work  in  body-building  exercises  and  to  indoor  athletic  sports,  under  the 
direction  of  the  Department  of  Physical  Education. 


CLASS  INSTRUCTION  IN  BODY-BUILDING 

Every  first  year  student  must  carry  a course  of  two  hours  per  week  in  the  Gymnasium. 
The  work  is  given  under  instruction  and  under  strict  discipline,  though  the  play  element 
is  sufficiently  well  developed  throughout  to  make  the  work  popular  and  attractive. 


UNIVERSITY  POWER  HOUSE 

This  group  of  buildings  and  their  equipment  furnishes  an  interesting  object  lesson  to  every 
engineering  student.  The  use  of  locomotive  crane  and  clam-shell  grab-bucket  unloader 
with  mechanical  distribution  of  coal  to  the  boilers  reduces  the  cost  of  coal  handling  to  a 
very  low  figure.  The  boiler  house  is  equipped  with  five  high-pressure  water-tube  boilers 
of  1550  H.  P.  capacity,  supplied  with  mechanical  stokers.  These  with  the  reciprocating 
and  turbine  engines  and  the  use  of  condensers  offer  a further  lesson  in  the  economy  of  fuel 
consumption. 


INTERIOR  OF  ENGINE  ROOM,  POWER  HOUSE 

This  illustration  shows  the  engines  used  in  generating  current  for  light  and  power  at  the 
University.  On  the  left  is  a 300  K.  W.  turbine  generator  set.  The  next  two  form  a 125 
K.  W.  tandum  high  speed  compound  generator  set.  At  the  extreme  right  is  a gas  engine 
direct-connected  to  a 100  K.  W.  generator.  In  the  foreground  is  an  electric-driven  air 
compressor  and  a 10  K.  W.  motor-driven  exciter  set.  All  current  generated  for  light  and 
power  is  1 100  volts,  two-phase,  60  cycle. 


ENGINEERING  DRAWING 

Drafting  is  an  essential  part  of  every  engineer’s  education,  and  is  therefore  required  in 
all  courses  in  this  college.  Besides  the  laboratory  shown  above,  the  Engineering  Drawing 
department  occupies  three  large  drawing  rooms  in  Brown  Hall,  and  two  rooms  in  Hayes 
Hall.  The  illustration  gives  a fair  idea  of  the  equipment  of  each  room.
